Malena's romance is done...

...At least until I show it to my testers, and decide to change everything once again. :p
But for now I should be done with it! Wrote all the scenes and the code, cleaned up the ones I decided not to use anymore, even managed to recycle an idea I had to close this, I feel pretty good about how things went. Maybe the weakest part is the final scene for the "normal romance" (if you don't become her slave, I mean), but I can probably improve it afterward, no big deal.

Next I'll have to toss a coin, and decide whether I'll tackle Jane or Piper, so that I get to put behind me those romances as well. I can't remember which one has the more content right now, and so would be easier to finalize, but it's not really important, as I still need to do both, regardless.

Other than that, I don't have much else to say: Hearthstone is still taking up way too much of my time, and I am growing more and more annoyed at how much time picture hunting can take if you want to do it properly.
My little RPG maker side project is growing nicely (but it's still nothing I would want to share publicly), and that should be everything that is going on with me as of late that bears mentioning, I believe.

unfortunately it's pretty difficult to ask for someone to help me, as often I am not 100% sure of what I want before I find it, and even when I am sure describing it properly to someone else can be a real challenge. Maybe it's just because I am too fixated on the small details, but other than minor pictures, I doubt I would be able to delegate picture hunting, but thanks for offering. ^_^

It's good to see another update in TOTDC,since many rags projects have been abandoned.However i think the walkthrough page needs an update to keep pace with the new versions that have been released.Sorry in advance if i'm wrong with this issue.

I keep writing here, mainly so people know I am still working on the game. Considering how rarely I update, this is pretty much needed to let the players know where I am at.

You are absolutely right, the walkthrough is very out of date, but I never was the one who mantained it. I would be very happy to post a new one, if someone was willing to write it, but I am not really interested in writing it myself (it's pretty time consuming to make a complete walkthrough, and it's also kind of boring).

I think I mentioned this before (I can't remember if I did it here, or in a forum), but Darenzia is straight, so there won't be any romance with her. She might get a sex scene in a dream, though, if that's any consolation. ^_^

Yeah, I am very happy I managed to get her path done, I think I mentioned this many times before, but writing romance and finding ways to add at least some semblance of gameplay is definitely hard, at least for me.

At one point the guy who runs the bar on Kantor was supposed to be a romance option, but I decided to not start yet another series of scenes, and focus on what's already in the plans, at least for now.

Thanks for the donation! I will send you an e-mail if you want to discuss some kind of reward for it (Si, siamo entrambi italiani :D)

Hey mate, its good to see you aren't yet dead. Kudos if you get the reference. I'm currently doing a lot of work so I haven't been able to see what's been happening, though I guess I haven't missed much. Well I've been keeping myself occupied, in that sense I've been working on a sci-fi short story of a young detective who goes on the look for rogue AIs, and figures out women are getting turned into empty sluts by these AI. Well I'm still thinking the overall plot out, but there's three kinds of endings I've got planned, and another short story which is based more on your game. :D

Great job! :3 Although I've got a question which is kind of unrelated to this update..Can you tell me the name of the remix which is played in the first labyrinth section is? I can't seem to be able to find it
